Hey munro, Douwe from Pydantic AI here. Our docs have a page dedicated to observability: https://ai.pydantic.dev/logfire/, which is all based on OpenTelemetry and its gen_ai conventions.

The Logfire SDK that Pydantic AI uses is a generic OTel client that defaults to sending data to Pydantic Logfire, our SaaS observability platform: https://pydantic.dev/logfire, but can easily be pointed at any OTel sink: https://ai.pydantic.dev/logfire/#logfire-with-an-alternative...

Temporal is one of multiple durable execution solutions (https://ai.pydantic.dev/durable_execution/overview/) we support and its SDK is indeed included by default in the "fat" `pydantic-ai` package, as are the SDKs for all model providers. There's also a `pydantic-ai-slim` package that doesn't include any optional dependencies: https://ai.pydantic.dev/install/#slim-install
